Lou graduated with a physics degree from Fairfield University but landed his first job in IT Consulting in Boston, MA, where he found a passion for small business operations. Years later, he left IT to follow his real passion and work in the health and fitness industry. He managed a boutique health club in Wellesley, MA for 5 years, and later entered the world of franchising, taking a role as Director of Franchise Support at Get In Shape For Women.
